| Description of the problem | My 2007 kia sedona minivan has 18,000 miles and has two major issues. First, a grinding noise in the front end attributed by a mechanic to new front end bearings. Second, a check-engine code which is causing the rough idle based off of faulty o2 sensors. Both items were diagnosed by a kia certified garage - gary rome kia in enfield, ct. I don't believe front end bearings should fail on a 2007 vehicle. Also, there is a technical service bulletin for the o2 sensors. According to mechanics at gary rome kia - both issues are "very common with these minivans." |
